Venezuelans in the U.S. with temporary protected status (TPS) face unlawful arrests by federal authorities despite legal protections against detention. Lawyers report that these individuals are being detained in violation of immigration law, which expressly prohibits holding them in custody. The arrests are happening in various settings, including homes and during legal check-ins. This situation reflects a broader issue of government misconduct and has garnered concern from immigration advocates who emphasize the need for adherence to legal standards amid increasing impunity from authorities.
Venezuelans with legal status are unlawfully arrested by federal authorities despite protections, facing detention contrary to the law that prohibits such actions.
The situation for Venezuelans with temporary protected status represents unprecedented governmental impunity regarding immigration enforcement, with actions often devoid of legal basis.
